In good form and physical condition. Runner-up in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 October and will fight for victory once more

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 5th in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 October. Keep safe

Soundly beaten (11th) in a 1950m Les Sables handicap on 12 October. Best watched for now

Won back-to-back handicaps in August and September but finished unplaced in both appearances at this level under a penalty, the latest (13th) on PSF over 2500m at Deauville on 16 November

Last-start winner of a 2400m Saint-Cloud handicap on 5 April but hasn't been seen since. Makes his reappearance under a 1,5kg penalty but which is negated by Marie Velon's weight allowance

Rewarded for his consistency with a last-start victory in a conditions race at Angers over 2300m on 30 September. Ought to remain competitive for the leading places

Won a 2300m Pompadour claimer in July but finished unplaced (6th) in a 2950m Cholet handicap on 7 October. Others preferred

Inconsistent handicapper - seldom far off the mark on a going day but most efficient/competitive on PSF. Didnt go unnoticed when 6th over 2500m in a Saint-Cloud handicap on 10 October

Bounced back to form with a reassuring 4th off his current mark in a 2100m handicap at Argentan on 9 October. Not taken lightly

Unplaced in 4 of his last 6 starts, including each of his last 3 appearances - the latest, well-beaten 14th over 2100m in a Saint-Cliud handicap on 21 June. Overlook
